Main Page - BR Bullpen

This milestone was passed a few weeks ago, but it is remarkable nonetheless. This volunteer project has exceeded my wildest expectations with fantastic articles on things as varied as Yu Darvish, the 2005-2006 Cuban National League Results, Baseball Teams in Henderson, Texas, and This date in History for June 12th.

Got the 2008 draft loaded into the site. The next project (and this is a bit off) will be to match these players up to their minor league id’s. It will happen! Someday.

Emerald Sports Guides - The Baseball Guide for 2008 and 2007

If you are like me, every year you would look forward to the Sporting News Baseball Guide appearing in your local bookstore. This book contained a complete record of the previous season, with box scores of important games, major and minor league stats and a concise summary of the previous season’s news, transactions, and major events. TSN published the last guide in 2006 leaving a void in my 60-year run of Baseball Guides.

Gary Gillette and Pete Palmer (producers of the ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia) have teamed with us to produce those missing editions both in a print and a pdf version under the name the Emerald Guide to Baseball. Samples, tables of content, and order information are all available on our website. Be sure to check it out.
